Fresh beets are used in these Double Chocolate Red Velvet Brownies by Crystal Bonnet to create a red velvet appeal, moisten the brownies, and provide an extra boost of nutrition. The result is a tender, delicious brownie. The candied nibbed walnuts are added for crunch and flavor, but they are a great recipe on their own as well, for a snack or ice cream topper!
